Tang Yan had passed out last night and could not recall what had happened when he woke up the next morning.
His mobile phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated and he reached for it.
He unlocked his phone to find that Shi Yu had sent him a video clip.
His slender finger tapped on the screen to play the video to watch a scene that was ghastly.
A handsome man lying in a sea of garbage, hugging a pile of stinking garbage as he rolled over on his back.
Not only that, the man even fervently kissed the garbage.
That man was him!
"Blargh—"
Tang Yan threw up, stopping short of everting his stomach.
Meanwhile, Mu Bai and Shi Yu were laughing their heads off as they watched the video.
It was true that Tang Yan was cuddling the garbage, but not to the point of treating it as a woman while kissing it.
It was Mu Bai who hired people to do the editings.
If he heard him mention about being a virgin again, he would have taken off the man's shirt in the video.
After continuously making fun of him, Mu Bai let out a sigh.
Shi Yu looked at him sideways. "What's wrong?"
Mu Bai leaned back on the sofa, spreading out his arms, looking tired. "Tell me, how can I not go on a blind date?"
Shi Yu sat with his legs crossed while his slim, long fingers slid over every page of the document that needed his signature. It was only after a long while that he began to speak. "There is nothing you can do."
Mu Bai let out a sigh again. "It seems I have no choice but to accept my fate like a lamb to be slaughtered."
Mu Bai got to his feet after checking the time on his branded watch. "It's about time. I've got to go."
Shi Yu acknowledged with an "Mhm" as he threw a take-care-mate look at him.

"Quickly get changed, girl!"
"It's not like I can arrange a blind date for you every time. Don't miss this opportunity!"
"Girl…"
Shen Zhongming babbled as he found an old dress from yesteryears.
Shen Chen snuggled on the sofa, ignoring him as she slowly chewed on a loaf.
Seeing that there was no response from his daughter, Shen Zhongming came up to her. "Your dad and I have been the ones listening to you. Today, you have got to listen to me."
Shen Chen said nothing. That made Shen Zhongming even more worried. "Girl, with our background, you don't have a choice here."
Without waiting for her to speak, he continued. "I have gone to many places and done a lot of persuasions. Only then your old Uncle Li's daughter-in-law agreed to arrange this blind date for you."
"I heard that the man you are going to meet comes from a well-to-do family and is an influential figure in the capital! If you can marry him, you will have no worry for the rest of your life, girl…"
Shen Chen quirked her eyebrow slightly. "Why does he still need a blind date if he is so outstanding? The way I see it, he is either a cripple or a retard."
Shen Zhongming's mouth twitched. "Li said he is a handsome and successful young man. I wouldn't let you marry him if he is really bad."
As Shen Chen continues to ignore him, he kept pestering her.
"Girl, just go and take a look. If you don't like him, just leave."
"Girl, where do we find such a wonderful opportunity again, eh?"
"Girl, listen to me this time. If the blind date doesn't work out and you can't marry, I swear I won't mention this thing again!"
Shen Chen had a lightbulb moment when she heard the last sentence.
She got herself off the sofa, went into her bedroom, and locked the door at the fastest speed.
She had changed into a set of clean clothes in less than one minute.
White shirt and jeans—simplest yet presentable.
Only after she headed out in a whirlwind, Shen Zhongming came to his senses and followed her.
